Roseberry-Strecker

June 28, 2010

Martha Irene Roseberry and Benjamin Daniel Strecker were united in marriage at Prosser United Methodist Church in Prosser, Washington, on Oct. 17, 2009. The double-ring ceremony was officiated by the Rev. Bo Bryan.

The bride is the daughter of Lydia Schilling and David Roseberry of Kennewick, Washington, and the granddaughter of the late Mary and Gene Roseberry and the late Martha and Trueman Schilling. She is a 2005 graduate of Kennewick High School and a 2009 graduate of the College of Wooster with a bachelor's degree in physics.

The bridegroom is the son of Dana and Daniel Strecker of Marietta and the grandson of Betty Fleming and the late Donald P. Fleming Jr., Jeanne and Arthur Edwards, and the late Charles Strecker, all of Marietta. He is a 2004 graduate of Marietta High School and a 2008 graduate of the College of Wooster with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and computer science. He is employed as a software engineer for Epic, a maker of integrated healthcare software.

The bride wore a strapless taffeta gown with a sweetheart neckline and a chapel train. The multi-pleated champagne bodice contrasted with an unadorned ivory A-line skirt with side and back pleats. The empire waist was emphasized with rhinestone accents and the back was decorated with a row of hand-beaded buttons. She fashioned her own bouquet of red roses wrapped in ivory satin ribbon.

The bridesmaids were Ellen Wagner and Adrienne Mills. They wore strapless knee length dresses of iridescent pink taffeta and carried handmade bouquets of white roses wrapped in pink satin ribbon. The best man was David Fram, who also acted as ring-bearer and gave the toast at the reception, a Thai luncheon held immediately following the ceremony.

Tyler Lewis played the piano as guests arrived at the wedding. Sandra Lewis provided piano music during the ceremony.

After a traditional bouquet toss and send-off, the couple left the reception for a honeymoon camping along the Oregon coast. They currently reside in Madison, Wisconsin.
